About

Bill Horvath II is a man of many talents, born on the Ides of March in 1970.

His artistic journey began in classwork at the Toledo Museum of Art, inspired by his mother's artistic pursuits. In 2015, he became a professional artist, and now works from his studio, nestled amid the woods and waters of Jerome, Michigan.

While he works in a variety of mediums, Bill's creative passion lies in freehand pen and ink drawing, where he relishes in the challenge and contrast of ink against paper.

He embraces mistakes as opportunities to make new choices, channeling a creative spirit in creating work centered on global events worthy of remembrance and reflection. His gravity-agnostic art has been featured in a variety of selective galleries and juried exhibits, and invites the viewer to explore different perspectives by turning it on a rotating base.

Beyond his artistic career, Bill has been a software developer, entrepreneur, soccer coach, non-profit board member, and management consultant to the U.S. Congress. 

When not immersed in creating art, he enjoys quality time with his two children, listening to NPR, playing with his cat, Cloud, and hands-on activities at home. His passion for animals has led him to start Pretty Good Pet Toys, a company offering fun, sustainable, and durable toys for playing with friends of the furry variety.

He now enjoys teaching art classes out of his private art studio in Michigan.
